Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 380

It was clear that Hugo's little maneuver had left the other side completely dumbfounded.

"Aren't you afraid they might start a fight?" He asked, concern lacing his voice.

Hugo just waved it off with a nonchalant smile. "You don't get it. Miranda is like a warrior queen. She's got the strength of a Valkyrie. Fearsome, really."

"..." was the only response he got.

Meanwhile, the so-called "Valkyrie" was sitting there calmly, as if the chaos around her was just a mild breeze.

"You came charging at me, didn't you? You bitch!" Celeste spat, swinging her hand towards Miranda in an attempt to slap her.

But before she could even get close, Celeste's knee buckled, and she went down hard, face-planting in the middle of the restaurant.

"Ah!" The sound echoed as the high-society beauty made an undignified fall, instantly drawing the attention of onlookers.

It was a sight to behold, and the awkward position she found herself in had people stifling laughs behind their hands.

Though Celeste was wearing sunglasses, some sharp-eyed patrons recognized her from afar.

"Isn’t that Celeste Sterling?"

"Yeah, the one who’s been called the 'Jewel of the Capital,' the untouchable one."

"Didn’t she get into some trouble recently?"

"Yeah, I heard she got into hot water for spreading false rumors."

The diners murmured amongst themselves.

Miranda raised an eyebrow, looking at the sprawled-out Celeste. "It’s not Thanksgiving yet, Ms. Sterling, no need to bow down so low."

Wendy and Sunny exchanged a glance.

Sunny might not know Celeste well, but Wendy sure did.

She chimed in, "Why is Ms. Sterling bowing to our Miranda?"

Celeste struggled to her feet, wobbling on her high heels, the fall having cooled her rage a bit.

She glanced at her knee, where a tiny silver pin had somehow embedded itself.

Pulling it out, she glared at Miranda. "You did this, didn’t you?"

Miranda replied nonchalantly, "Sure did."
